primarily used for fps games...now i mainly play Red Orchestra which dosent need too much gfx power(16aa&4af), but am interested in Armed Assualt which i've heard needs a beast of a rig. i tend to find a game i like and play it for several months/years. There may be a game in the near future which i would like but would not be able to run with the gt......is there a card in agp which would see me through the next 12 months or would i be best holding out untill i can afford a conroe rig (many many months away :( )

i realise this is a catch 22 situation, but your input is much appreciated...
many thanks
 
You could get a Conroe based system that uses the ASRock Dual-VSTA motherboard which supports DDR+DDR2 and AGP+PCI-E so around £40 for the motherboard and £130 for the CPU + cooler which ought to last you a bit longer and give a bit more upgrade potential than just buying a new AGP graphics card. :)
